“Are you sure you want to send a form again”?

HI,

From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab.

At the bottom of that pane deselect: Ask before sending a non-secure form from a secure website.

If that doesn't work, you can use the Terminal app (Applications/Utilities) to avoid
the secure form dialog:

Launch Terminal. Type in this command exactly as you see it here:

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugConfirmTossingUnsubmittedFormText NO

Press return on your keyboard. That should stop the dialog.

To undo this… same command but type Yes.












Carolyn 🙂

Better, IMO, is to hold the command key down when clicking the return or enter key with a google search term. That will load a new tab and keep the original page or tab available. When finished with the search window, CMD+W dismisses it and returns you to the previous window or tab.

Sorry Carolyn, but neither solution works, and I am getting this on http sites.
This is soooooo annoying!

Wish Apple would fix this once and for all! (I am running the latest Safari version 5.0.1 (6533.17.8)

I'm suffering the same irritation. When I order something from say Amazon I click on "send" to complete the order. If I want to back a page I'll get this message which makes me think I might B placing the order again. Not good!!!

As before, use the CMD key, and eliminate the problem. Since there's a built-in solution, I doubt Apple will do anything to bypass a site's requirement to resend data.

HI,

Go to /Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari

Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.

Relaunch Safari and try the Terminal command again or Safari/Preferences / Security. Deselect: Ask before sending a non-secure form from a secure website

Carolyn,

I looked under library (and searched the rest of my MBP), and could not find a cache.db folder anywhere. Thoughts?

It should be the home folder. ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari cache.db

Ah, thanks.
Found it and deleted the file. Re-ran the terminal command but the issue hasn't gone away.

What sites do you see this behavior? They may be blocked.

Here's two that I recently tried, but there are plenty more out there:

As far as I know, there is no cure for this condition.

This, unfortunately, is typical for a lot of websites.
I get exactly the same thing on Amazon, and quite a few of the sites where I shop.
I've learned to use their navigational tools to go back, rather than click the back key.

I agree this is a real PITA.
I haven't tried these sites on other browsers, because for 99% of the time, I love Safari way better than Firefox and Camino.

Try a different browser like Firefox.

Security and privacy standards differ from one browser to the next.

If you don't have Firefox installed, go here.

It's always good to have a backup browser if you don't already.

Right you are - it's not unsubmitted form warnings or https sites - Safari gives the warning when you use the Back function to a page that used a POST request. (usually a search).

Other browsers seem more forgiving.

Thanks, Andy.
I was pretty sure I was . . .
😉

I just learned how to do it differently.
It's not very intuitive, but such is life, sometimes.

Orca's question was:
+And, is there a way to make Safari stop doing it?+

And the answer, unfortunately, is "No."
